A gentle old-fashioned romance set among rural moonshiners, with mild suspense from mistaken identity and a slow, easygoing charm.

Directed by
Russell Allen
Starring
Raymond McKee, Helen Ferguson, Earl Metcalfe
Overview
A young man in South Carolina inherits property in a valley he has never visited before. On arriving he is mistaken by the locals for a revenue officer intent on enforcing the Volstead Act on Prohibition. As the whole area lives off the moonshining trade, this prevents problems - particularly when he falls in love with the daughter of the head of the local producers.
